Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi
I am using openSUSE 12.2 KDE,
and I connect to internet through a proxy server.
I want to use tor, and I cant figure out how to do this.
Also I cant use anything but firefox, like I cant
user zypper to update system.
I tried using `proxychains` for zypper with no luck.

So the question is how to use tor and my own HTTP proxy
together and also how to make `every` program use this combination
or at least my HTTP proxy.

sry if i was not clear. i think it allows http and https.
i think i have tried that. i searched for proxy in kickoff and i configured everything it showed. after configuring it,
it wanted me to relogin, but i had the same
situation after this. nothing worked without explicit proxy setting.
i downloaded tor browser for linux and it
has an option for setting proxy, but i can't find anything in tor config files.

HTTPProxy host[:port]
Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port (or
host:80 if port is not specified), rather than connecting directly
to any directory servers.
HTTPProxyAuthenticator username:password
If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTP
proxy authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only
form of HTTP proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to
submit a patch if you want it to support others.
HTTPSProxy host[:port]
Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port
(or host:443 if port is not specified), via HTTP CONNECT rather
than connecting directly to servers. You may want to set
FascistFirewall to restrict the set of ports you might try to
connect to, if your HTTPS proxy only allows connecting to certain
ports.
HTTPSProxyAuthenticator username:password
If defined, Tor will use this username:password for Basic HTTPS
proxy authentication, as in RFC 2617. This is currently the only
form of HTTPS proxy authentication that Tor supports; feel free to
submit a patch if you want it to support others.
Socks4Proxy host[:port]
Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 4 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
Socks5Proxy host[:port]
Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 5 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
Socks5ProxyUsername username
Socks5ProxyPassword password
If defined, authenticate to the SOCKS 5 server using username and
password in accordance to RFC 1929. Both username and password must
be between 1 and 255 characters.

I dont do any of them (except for updating).
I mostly use tor because here internet is censored(IR) and I cant go everywhere without tor.
And sometimes I cant update my system without using tor (same reason).
